Census
1900 census of Bath Co., Ky, White Sulphur precinct, enumerated 11 June, lists on p. 10B as family #201:
Donathan, Harry, 44, b. Mar 1856, farmer; Louvenie, wife, 48, b. Feb 1852, married 6 years, mother of 2 children, 2 living; Frank, son, 14, b. March 1886.
1910 census of Bath Co., Ky, White Sulphur precinct, district 4 Licking Union, enumerated 28 April, lists on p. 10A as family #33:
Donathan, Harrison, 53, second marriage, farmer; Vean, wife, 57, first marriage, married 16 years, mother of 2 children, 2 living; Frank, son, 25, first marriage, laborer at saw mill; Lizzie B. dau-in-law, 22, first marriage for both, married 8 years, mother of 3 children, 2 living; Viola M., granddau, 2; Andrew J., grandson, 1. All born Ky Ky Ky.
The preceding household is headed by Harrison’s brother Noah. Since Louvenia’s 2 children were apparently grown by 1900, the indication that this is her first marriage is probably incorrect (although perhaps they were born out of wedlock.)
1920 census of Bath Co., Ky, Licking Union precinct, enumerated 30 March, lists on p. 8B as family #27/27:
Donathan, Jamie, 53, farm laborer; George, 66, wife; Donathan, Harrison, head, farm laborer, 64, farm laborer; Luvenia, wife, 67. All born Ky Ky Ky.
The family number should have been bumped for Harrison, since he was listed as a head, but it was not. The next household is headed by their brother Noah.
